Author: Norment, CamilleThroughout her career, Camille Norment has probed and explored what she has termed 'cultural psychoacoustics', in particular the socio-cultural valences of three tones: the bell, feedback and the sine wave. This volume unpacks those sonic phenomena, which together resonate with discrete yet overlapping ideas of time, spirituality and the drone (bell); the decentralisation of power, political struggles and cybernetics (feedback); and purity and transcendence (sine wave). With an innovative all-vellum design, the book translates Norment’s sonic sensibility into print-specific terms.In addition to a conversation between curator Kelly Kivland and the artist herself, the volume features contributions from curators and scholars Legacy Russell, Nida Ghouse and David Toop, as well as fragmented texts from a conversation between Fred Moten and Norment.ISBN 9780944521984.
